Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 12 of the 15 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 3 on a weekend.
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 12 of the 15 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 3 on a weekend. The most common weekday for a holiday is Monday, Wednesday or Friday, with 3 dates.
Six of the 15 dates land on a Monday or Friday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: Green Monday on Monday, February 23, Good Friday on Friday, April 10, Easter Monday on Monday, April 13, Labor Day on Friday, May 1, Pentecost Monday on Monday, June 1 and Christmas Day on Friday, December 25. Three more holidays sit one working day away from the weekend, so a single day of leave turns each into a four-day break: New Year's Day on Thursday, January 1 (take Friday off), Epiphany on Tuesday, January 6 (take Monday off) and Cyprus Independence Day on Thursday, October 1 (take Friday off).
April is the busiest month, with 4 holiday dates. July, September and November have no public holiday at all. The longest stretch between two holidays is 75 days, from Pentecost Monday on June 1 to Dormition of the Mother of God on August 15, the natural window for a longer break.
2027 brings 15 public holidays, the same number as 2026. 10 of the 15 dates fall on a working day, and 6 land next to the weekend.
